Full IL-2 1946 mission: The Big Bad Wulf #2

[@momotheelder7124]

you're trying to attack huge formations of bombers bristling with 50 cals, then some tracers go over your head, a Mustang is on your tail! Being a Luftwaffe pilot ain't easy.

[@DannyBoy777777]

Nice to see the JG 1 emblem on the cowl.

[@jollyjohnzz]

Love your videos, better than a lot of movies .

[@Bulbagaba992]

39:38 finally!!! That’s one tough Mustang!

[@johnfenwick7641]

My uncle was a tail gunner in a B 17 in 1943 Boeing aircraft inc put out a poster that hung in the flight center at their base in England and there was a picture of a FW 190 on the bottom were the words who Who is afraid of the big bad wulf it was signed by the entire bomber group

[@crashesnfails]

good work sticking the landing looked like a handful

[@IbnShahid]

Not sure if this was an issue in real life with the FW 190, but I’m struck by just how poor the forward visibility is from the cockpit. Surprising in what was obviously such an effective fighter.

[@DannyBoy777777]

@ IbnShahid most fighter aircraft of this era were like this.

[@skand8527]

I downloaded this game... Cant wait to play

[@skidzholeshot1316]

43:44 AIRFIELD ABOVE YOUR RIGHT WING CANNON,I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE BEST OPTION?

[@darrenwilson8921]

havent watched yet but….hoping for a better performance than last time lads..!…alright, lets get strapped in and see how they get on!

[@pascalmarchi9001]

Great job Fishyyy…

[@mariopolito1318]

Good job!

[@morisawakenji7877]

Ho Ho Luftwaffe pirates!

[@solomonkhan7199]

Nice!

[@pascalmarchi9001]

What version of the FW 190?

[@skand8527]

Is it necessary to have Joystick?? I downloaded this sim but i cant figure out how to control weapons and other stuff

[@stanisawcwierkiewicz7569]

naah i ve been playing on keyboard without any issues but the whole game experience is much more better with joystick

[@hailsatan000]

Why does the lead plane have 2 guns on one wing, and 1 on the other wing? I thought that the antenna was further outboard, towards the wingtip......

[@Fishyyy]

That's an antenna, not a second gun. All the 190s use the same 3d model, so if the lead aircraft had more guns, so would the others.

[@iangoldsworthy2056]

How come when you refreshed you got your rudder back when previously it got shot up?

[@Fishyyy]

That's a replay bug. Because of the damage model getting reset, when we started new replays, we now record everything in one replay.

[@marc13bautista]

More swordfish

[@Megajim454]

Why does the aircraft start shaking like that on approach to the landing strip?

[@baneblade48]

Is there a mod for smoother head movement for 1946? The best I can set mine to is pan mode which is slow and clunky.

[@graustreifbrombeerkralle1078]

27:38 Wie hast du dich den daraus gerettet? Nur Leistung runter? Oder noch was?

[@Fishyyy]

Erst Leistung raus, dann Seite ganz links, voll angedrückt und Quer komplett nach links. Nach kurzem Warten Querruder weggenommen. Ich hab das im Replay nachgeguckt, sowas macht man so instinktiv, ich wusste das gar nicht mehr ;D Anscheined funktioniert einfach Leistung wegnehmen am besten.

[@graustreifbrombeerkralle1078]

@@Fishyyy Oh, okay :D Als ich das Spiel früher gespielt habe, habe ich da direkt den Schirm gezogen :D Ist aber auch schon lange her und im Vergleich zu dir war ich echt komplett unfähig. Konnte nur starten und fliegen, landen musste immer der Autopilot xD

[@Karelwolfpup]

this one went a bit better for you guys than the last one then?

[@Fishyyy]

I flew this take alone, it was kind of the test run. Turns out the mission works and coincidentally the result was good :P

[@baneblade48]

Just gotta get them down low first then the stang becomes a slug. Seems like the 190's are tougher in 1946 than Great Battles.

[@DannyBoy777777]

@ Wyatt K Nonsense. The P-51 could hit 355 mph at sea level, the Fw 190A-8 (optimised for fighter role) 354 mph.

[@TrangleC]

Is it wise to climb into the rear of the formation like that, putting yourself under the escorts? Don't want to be too much of a armchair quarterback, but I must say I didn't quite understand your defensive maneuvers against those P-51s. Granted, I never played a serious simulation, only War Thunder, but even that game is accurate enough in physics and flight models to learn a thing or two about air combat, especially because you get so much of it in a short time. Using up all of your energy in tight turns, forcing yourself to dive to the deck, is usually not a good way to go. When flying defensively in a FW190, you should use your superior roll rate, flip your plane around faster than a P-51 can follow and change directions, maybe do Rolling Scissors and force an overshoot, you know? It seems as if everyone, you and the P-51 were flying their Boom&Zoom Fighters as if they were Turn Fighters. A lot of energy guzzling, long and drawn out turns. I really don't get why the P-51s slowed down so much, instead of bouncing you. You were low and slow and instead of exploiting their energy advantage, they turned low and slow themselves, for no good reason. Are those AI Bots, or are they player controlled? Honestly, the longer I watch this, the more it seems to me they fly like inexperienced novices who don't know how you Boom&Zoom somebody, how to energy fight, or what the strengths and weaknesses of their aircraft are. Around the 39 minute mark, you both barely have enough energy and speed to stay in the air. There was no reason for the P-51 to get itself into that situation. It is as if whoever flew the P-51, whether it was a player or a bot, thought he is in a Japanese Zero or in a biplane, or something, hehehe. Don't get me wrong, but to an old War Thunder player, this is painful to watch. It is like watching 2 very old people trying to have sex, hehehe. War Thunder has a bad reputation among "serious simulation" players, but that snobbishness is often unfounded. That game is not historically accurate and not realistic in the situations it throws you in and has bad balancing, but it is definitely pretty good at teaching you this kind of stuff - the basics and nuances of energy fighting, the differences between a nimble turn fighter and a heavy boom&zoom fighter, defensive flying, reversals and all that. And the fact that it is old and a lot of casual noob players lost interest and moved on, leaving behind the ones who are really into it, means the average skill level of WT Realistic Battle Mode and Simulation Mode players is pretty high. At least it was when I last played it. Has been a while. You wouldn't get far flying like that in WT. (With you I don't mean you specifically. More the P-51, whoever flew it, whether it was a bot or a player.)

[@nakitaluckysibih5581]

Which East Germany in this game?

[@fredsalfa]

He doesnt like Mustangs does he

[@RPWaggel]

34:39 :-D "Not yet kameraden ... not yet" :-D .... 39:44 ... Aaaaaalter Schwede .... besser als jeder Hollywoodfilm ... scheiße nun sind meine Pommes kalt :-D
